Description

It's common to display reflectivity curves this way, because it's expected that the reflectivity decreases like $Q^{-4}$.
It would be good to have a shortcut for this.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing reflectivity-curve display entry point and any related plotting tests. Confirm how curves are currently represented and define the shortcut's expected output for displaying R(Q) multiplied by Q^4. Done means the convenience function is available and its behavior is covered by a test.
